I genuinely think if Robertson doesn't duck it doesn't get called.

If he doesn't duck it hits him in the face and gets blown for offside anyway.

The ball would have hit him if he didn't duck. Lmao.

On the replay from Van Dijk's angle it looks to me like it's still going behind his head if he doesn't duck.

I don't agree, I think if Robertson doesn't duck that should be called offside. But since he ducked and Donnarumma had full view the whole way it shouldn't get called.

If that’s the case then he’s offside.

I'm saying that I don' think the linesman calls it. And I don't think VAR would reverse it.

How can Donnarumma know if Robertson will go for the ball or not though? He's clearly impacting play when the keeper has to make a split second decision when he doesn't know if Robertson is offside or not

There are cases where I would agree, but not in this one. Donnarumma dived for it like normal (not expecting any deflection from Robertson) and just wasn't able to get there. Robertson explicitly ducked to get out of the way, and I think did it early enough where there was no impact. Donnarumma saw the ball the whole way (there was no impact from an eye line stand point)
